One of the differences between now and then is that the idea of body image is a much bigger issue now. Back then, just being kind of heavy and barrel-chested passed for heroic.

But that was one of the things which was interesting about it and I did want to portray because there's good and bad.

I am interested in struggle - between our hearts and our head, between principle and desire - and one of those struggles is with mortality; and no one at all is immune to it, which makes it even more interesting to me.

And he said, "Yes, we're not very good at it." And I thought, "What a terrible thing to say.".

At the end of the '90s, I was very bored with the usual models, so I discovered a new generation that impressed me with their fresh look.

Well, the years from 10 to 20, when your body, mind and everything is like changing every five minutes, can be pretty torturing. And most of the interesting characters, I think, are somewhat tortured or torturous. I'm 20 now, so I'm only just an adult.
